@webdevdot webdevdot released this 30 Mar 15:16

What's New

Project-Wise Indexing

  • add_project — Register any folder as a project and index all its code files automatically
  • list_projects — View all registered projects with file count, symbol count, and index status
  • remove_project — Remove a project and all its indexed data from the database
  • New projects table in the database with per-project isolation (no more mixed files)

Per-Project Search

All search tools now accept an optional project parameter to scope results:

  • search_code(query, project: "my-app") — search only within a specific project
  • find_symbol(name, project: "my-app") — find symbols in a specific project
  • get_context(query, project: "my-app") — get context from a specific project
  • list_files(project: "my-app") — list files in a specific project
  • Omit project to search across all registered projects

Real-Time File Watching

  • File watcher runs alongside the MCP server automatically
  • New/modified/deleted files are detected and re-indexed within ~3-5 seconds
  • Debounced updates to batch rapid changes efficiently
  • Disable with SKIP_WATCHER=true environment variable

Auto-Index on Startup

  • All registered projects are automatically re-indexed when the server starts
  • Skips unchanged files (compares modification timestamps)
  • Disable with SKIP_AUTO_INDEX=true environment variable

Web Dashboard & REST API

  • Full web dashboard with analytics on port 34244
  • GET /api/projects — list all projects
  • POST /api/projects — add a new project
  • DELETE /api/projects/:name — remove a project

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed MCP server capabilities registration
  • Fixed parser plugin configuration
  • Fixed module-level CLI code that caused DB conflicts when importing as library

Breaking Changes

  • Database schema upgraded (v1 → v2) — old code-index.db will be rebuilt automatically on first run
  • Auto-index no longer indexes the current directory by default — use add_project to register folders

Choose a tag to compare

@webdevdot webdevdot released this 29 Mar 16:39

🎉 Overview

Code Index MCP is a production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for code indexing and intelligent search across multi-language codebases. Built with Node.js, SQLite + FTS5, and designed for seamless integration with Claude Code.

✨ Key Features

Search & Analysis

  • Full-Text Search - Fast content search across all files using SQLite FTS5
  • Symbol Lookup - Find functions, classes, variables by name with AST parsing
  • Code Context - Intelligent ranking combining file matches and symbol search
  • File Retrieval - Get file content with line numbers for easy navigation

Intelligence

  • Multi-Language Support - JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, PHP
  • AST-Based Parsing - @babel/parser for full syntax tree analysis
  • Import Tracking - Track dependencies and imports across your codebase
  • Dependency Analysis - Find files that depend on specific modules

Operations

  • Auto-Reindexing - File watcher with automatic index updates
  • Batch Processing - Optimized for 10,000+ files
  • Performance - Sub-100ms queries with proper database indexing
  • Error Recovery - Comprehensive error handling and graceful degradation

🛠️ 8 MCP Tools

  1. search_code - Full-text search with ranking
  2. find_symbol - Symbol definition lookup
  3. get_file - Retrieve file content with line numbers
  4. get_context - Combined file + symbol search
  5. get_stats - Database statistics
  6. list_files - List indexed files with filtering
  7. get_imports - Get imports from specific file
  8. get_dependents - Find files depending on target
